 After lunch, I packed my bags, said my goodbyes, and mom took me to the airport. I was sad to leave my family, but sooooooo excited to get home to see my Jakey. I missed him so much!
 Got a burger at the airport before my flight home!
 Jake came and picked me up from the airport. He is so cute. He was so excited to see me, he got to the airport 3 hours early :) I love that he always comes inside and helps me with my bags.

a day at the park

Tuesday, July 24, 2012


On Monday, my family and  I got to come to California! This is the first time in a year since we have all 5 Bang girls together! Wahoo! Tuesday, we spent a super fun day at La Paz Regional Park. It is beautiful, has tons of areas to play, climb, sit and relax under shade, tons of gazebos with tables, playgrounds, just overall awesome! There is also tons of geese and ducks all around! Watch out for poop....
For lunch we picked up lots of buckets of KFC! Oh it was so delicious and perfect for a day at the park!
I can not get enough of Lindy! Everything about her is perfect! Her little noises, her cute toes, big blue eyes, smiles, everything!
Such a happy, sweet girl!

All the kids, and some new friends they made at the park, playing in the river.
Shane, Mallory, Brandon in the back, Bryce, Gavin, Dean.
My cute sister Amber.
I just love little Reid!
